TV turns off.

NOTE: In the search mode,the (C)A-

LRC1 will send IR codes from its

library to the selected device, starting

with the most popular code first.

5. Press SETUP once to lock in the code.

6. To search for the codes of your other

components, repeat steps 1 through

5,but substitute the appropriate key

(i.e., CBL,VCR,TV,1,2, 3,or 4).

LEARNING CAPABILITY

To optimize success,the learning process

should be conducted in an area where

there is a low level of IR emission. High

levels of“natural light”or energy effi-

cient fluorescent lights could interfere

with a learning event. The source and

target (learner) remotes should be no

more than 1 to 2 inches apart during a

learning event and the IR LEDs of the

two units should be aligned with each

other. The learning operation is initiated

as follows:

1. Press and hold SETUP until double

blink confirmation.Press 9 - 7 - 5 to

initiate learning mode.

2. Press [MODE] and key to be learned

(time out if no key pressed in 10 sec-

onds).

3. Visible LED flashes rapidly (time out

if no received signal detected in 4

sec.)

4. Hold teaching remote close to IR

LED and press key to be taught.

5. Visible LED goes out. Continue to

press teaching key until double blink

from visible LED.(One long blink

indicates a learning failure)

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 as often as

desired (up to limit of memory).

7. Exit learning mode by pressing

SETUP,or by time out (10 seconds).

At step 5, one long blink indicates learning fail-

ure, which could be:

a.Bad capture (try again)

b. Memory full (delete some other

function)

c. Unlearnable code

Deleting a learned code:

To delete a learned code, either overwrite

it with a new code on the same key,or

use the following sequence:

Press [MODE] then SETUP (press and

hold till you see two blinks) 9 - 7 - 6

then press the key you wish to delete

twice.

Sending a key’s original (preprogrammed)

function:

If a function is learned onto a key, then

SETUP - key will send the key’s original

function (as long as nothing else has

been learned or keymoved onto the

“shifted” key as well).

Interaction of learned keys and keymover:

•Ifboth a learned function and a key-

moved function are placed on the

same key, whichever was pro-

grammed last will take precedence.

•A learned function cannot be used as

a source for keymover. Keymover

always uses the key’s original func-

tion as the source.

Limitations on Learning

•There are certain device codes which

are not learnable. These include

multi-frequency codes (e.g.

Telefunken), some high frequency

codes, and other unusual formats.

•The learner will support IR codes

with carrier frequency up to 135

kHz.

•The unit can learn only one code per

key. It can’t be taught a sequence of

several keystrokes on one key.

•All keys with the exception of Modes,

and SETUP can be learned on.

•During a learning event the source

remote and target should be no more

than 1 to 2 inches apart.

•In some cases you may be required

to re-learn a code if it is not correctly

learned.

•The learning process should con-

ducted in an area where there is a

low levels of IR emission.High levels

of “nature light”or Energy efficient

fluorescent lights,could interfere

with a learning event.

•In general,it is not recommended to

learn a function to the Record Key.

The Record Key requires a double

key press to send the record function

in normal operation. The double key

press is lost when the Record key is

involved in most learning operations.

This lack of consistency in operation

generates a source of confusion for

the user and is best to be avoided

when possible. However,the Record

key is learnable.

•Typically,there are up to 24 buttons

that can be learned.

CHECKING THE CODES

If you have set up the (C)A-LRC1 using

the Searching For Your Code procedure,

you may need to find out which four-

digit code is operating your equipment:

For example, to find out which code is

operating your TV:

1. On the (C)A-LRC1,press TV once.

2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED

blinks twice,then release SETUP.

3. Enter 9- 9 - 0.The LED will

blink twice.

4. To view the code for the first digit,

press 1 once. Wait 3 seconds,count

the LED blinks (e.g.,3 blinks = 3)

and write down the number.

NOTE: If a code digit is “0”, the LED

will not blink.

5. Repeat step 4 three more times for

remaining digits.Use 2 for the sec-

ond digit,3 for the third digit,and 4

for the fourth digit.

6. To check for the codes of your other

components,repeat steps 1 through

5,but substitute the appropriate key

(i.e.,CBL,VCR,TV,,,,or )

component you are checking.As

before,write down each four-digit

code.

RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS

The (C)A-LRC1 can be set up to control a

second TV or VCR,or any combination of

eight home entertainment components.

For example,to have the (C)A-LRC1

control a TV,a Cable Converter,and two

VCRs,you will need to re-assign the

key to operate the second VCR as fol-

lows:

1. On the (C)A-LRC1,press and hold

SETUP until the LED blinks twice,

then release SETUP.

2. Enter 9 - 9 - 2.The LED will

blink twice.

3. Press VCR once,then press once.

4. The key is now ready to be pro-

grammed for your second VCR.See

Programming Component Control.

To re-assign other device keys,repeat

steps 1 through 4 by substituting the key
